Proposed Project: Mental Health Block
Grant Ten Percent Set Aside Evaluation
of First Episode Psychosis—NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is directed by Congress
through its FY 2016 Omnibus bill,
Public Law 114–113, to set aside ten
percent of the Mental Health Block
Grant (MHBG) allocation for each state
to support evidence-based programs that
provide treatment for those with early
serious mental illness (SMI) and a first
episode psychosis (FEP)—an increase
from the previous five percent set aside.
The purpose of this 3-year evaluation
is to assess the relationship between
fidelity of selected coordinated specialty
care (CSC) programs supported with
Mental Health Block Grant (MHBG) Ten
Percent Set Aside funding and
participant outcomes. There are
approximately 250 sites implementing
CSC programs with MHBG ten percent
set aside funding. All 250 sites will be
asked to report on their implementation
through an online survey. Up to 32 CSC
sites across the nation will be recruited
to participate in a process and outcome
evaluation. The data collection activities
for the Mental Health Block Grant Ten
Percent Set Aside Evaluation will
include the following six data collection
tools:
• Site Survey: This is a one-time
online survey with site directors of all
250 centers using MHBG ten percent set
aside funding (not just those included in
the evaluation). The survey focuses on
how centers across the U.S. are
providing services to individuals with
First Episode Psychosis (FEP) in their
communities.
• State Mental Health Authority
Interview: This is a one-time semistructured interview with state mental
health leadership in the states where the
32 sites in the evaluation are located.
The interview focuses on their thoughts
and opinions about context in which
CSC programs are implemented within
their state and the state’s role in the
implementation of the CSC programs.
• Agency Director/Administrator
Interview: This semi-structured
interview will be conducted twice with
Agency Director/Administrators at each
of the 32 CSC sites in the evaluation
about the successes and challenges
involved in implementing the CSC
program.
• Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC)
Staff Interview: This semi-structured
interview will be conducted twice with
CSC Staff at each of the 32 CSC sites in
the evaluation about the successes and
challenges involved in implementing
the CSC program.
• Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC)
Participant Interview: This semistructured interview will be conducted
twice with participants involved in
programs at the 32 CSC sites in the
evaluation. The purpose of the
interview is to gather participant input
on how CSC programs are operating and
their thoughts and opinions about
successes and challenges while
participating in the CSC program.
• Fidelity Interview: This interview
will be conducted twice during the
evaluation with up to four CSC staff at
each site. The phone interview is
designed to be used in conjunction with
the First Episode Psychosis Fidelity
Scale (FEPS–FS) to examine whether
elements of CSC are implemented at the
sites.
In addition, each site will provide the
evaluation team with administrative
data on participant demographics and
outcomes (e.g., employment status,
educational status, diagnosis, living
situation, quality of life, symptoms).

Recreational Boating Safety Projects,
Programs, and Activities Funded
Under Provisions of the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century; Fiscal
Year 2016
ACTION:
Notice.
The Coast Guard is publishing
this notice to satisfy a requirement of
the Transportation Equity Act for the
21st Century that a detailed accounting
of the projects, programs, and activities
funded under the national recreational
boating safety program provision of the
Act be published annually in the
Federal Register. This notice specifies
the funding amounts the Coast Guard
has committed, obligated, or expended
during fiscal year 2016, as of September
30, 2016.
In 1999, the Transportation Equity
Act for the 21st Century made $5
million per year available for the
payment of Coast Guard expenses for
personnel and activities directly related
to coordinating and carrying out the
national recreational boating safety
program. In 2005, the law was amended,
and the amount was increased to $5.5
million. In 2015, the law was amended
again which resulted in the
consolidation of the $5.5 million and
the two percent amount made available
under 46 U.S.C. Chapter 131, Section
13107(2). For Fiscal Year 2016 the
amount allocated to the Coast Guard
under Public Law 114–94, Section
10001(2) was $7.7 million.

SUMMARY:
Background and Purpose
The Transportation Equity Act for the
21st Century became law on June 9,
1998 (Pub. L. 105–178; 112 Stat. 107).
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:45 Apr 11, 2017
Jkt 241001
The Act required that of the $5 million
made available to carry out the national
recreational boating safety program each
year, $2 million shall be available only
to ensure compliance with Chapter 43 of
Title 46, U.S. Code. On September 29,
2005, the Sportfishing and Recreational
Boating Safety Amendments Act of 2005
was enacted (Pub. L. 109–74; 119 Stat.
2031). This Act increased the funds
available to the national recreational
boating safety program from $5 million
to $5.5 million annually, and stated that
‘‘not less than’’ $2 million shall be
available only to ensure compliance
with Chapter 43 of Title 46, U.S. Code.
Subsequently on December 04, 2015 the
law was once again amended (Pub. L.
114–94; Section 10001). This
amendment consolidated the $5.5
million and the two percent amount
made available under 46 U.S.C. Chapter
131, Section 13107(2). For Fiscal Year
2016 the amount allocated to the Coast
Guard under Public Law 114–94,
Section 10001(2) was $7.7 million. Of
the $7.7 million made available ‘‘not
less than’’ $2.1 million shall be
available to ensure compliance with
Chapter 43 of Title 46, U.S. Code and
‘‘not more’’ than $1.5 million is
available to conduct by grant or contract
a survey of levels of recreational boating
participation and related matters in the
United States.
These funds are available to the
Secretary from the Sport Fish
Restoration and Boating Trust Fund
established under 26 U.S.C. 9504(a) for
payment of Coast Guard expenses for
personnel and activities directly related
to coordinating and carrying out the
national recreational boating safety
program. Under 46 U.S.C. 13107(c), on
and after October 1, 2016 no funds
available to the Secretary under this
subsection may be used to replace
funding provided through general
appropriations, nor for any purposes
except those purposes authorized;
namely, for personnel and activities
directly related to coordinating and
carrying out the national recreational
boating safety program. Amounts made
available under 46 U.S.C. 13107(c)
remain available during the two
succeeding fiscal years. Any amount
that is unexpended or unobligated at the
end of the 3-year period during which
it is available, shall be withdrawn by the
Secretary and allocated to the States in
addition to any other amounts available
for allocation in the fiscal year in which
they are withdrawn or the following
fiscal year.
Use of these funds requires
compliance with standard Federal
contracting rules with associated lead
and processing times resulting in a lag

time between available funds and
spending. The total amount of funding
transferred to the Coast Guard from the
Sport Fish Restoration and Boating
Trust Fund and committed, obligated,
and/or expended during fiscal year 2016
for each activity is shown below.
Specific Accounting of Funds
Manufacturer Compliance Inspection
Program/Boat Testing Program: Funding
was provided to continue the national
recreational boat compliance inspection
program, initiated in January 2001.
During the Fiscal Year contracted
personnel, acting on behalf of the Coast
Guard, visit recreational boat
manufacturers, recreational boat
retailers, and recreational boat shows to
inspect boats for compliance with the
Federal regulations. During the 2015–
2016 reporting year, inspectors
performed 391 factory visits, 220 retailer
visits, and 8 boat show visits resulting
in 2,777 boats being inspected with
findings of 883 non-compliances.
($2,123,490). Additional expenditures
regarding this subject that are accounted
for in the funding amounts listed below
are Contract Personnel Support
($106,000), Reimbursable Salaries
($194,586) and New Recreational
Boating Safety Associated Travel
($5,976). Collectively, these
expenditures, along with other potential
projects, are considered to be applicable
to the legal requirement that ‘‘not less
than’’ $2.1 million be available to
ensure compliance with Chapter 43 of
Title 46, U.S. Code.
Administrative Overhead—Funding
was provided to pay for Boating Safety
Division office supplies. ($6,027).
Boating Accident Report Database
(BARD) Web System: Funding was
allocated to continue providing the
BARD Web System, which enables
reporting authorities in the 50 States,
five U.S. Territories, and the District of
Columbia to submit their accident
reports electronically over a secure
Internet connection. The system also
enables the user community to generate
statistical reports that show the
frequency, nature, and severity of
boating accidents. Funds supported
system maintenance, development, and
technical (hotline) support. ($237,997).
Contract Personnel Support: Funding
was provided for contract personnel to
support the appropriate cost/benefit
analyses for potential new regulations
and to conduct general boating safetyrelated research and analysis and to
assist the manufacturer compliance
program. ($616,207).
Boating Accident News Clipping
Services: Funding was provided to
continue to gather daily news stories of
